The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

Number One No More

There is only one reason I have taken the time to put this on my blog. The date.

"It's not a good story, is it? In 1981, we had, by far, the richest middle class in the world. And what has happened since then is that income growth in these other countries has been substantially faster for the middle class and the poor."

Again and again
, the ghost of Ronald Reagan and PATCO comes back to haunt America.

Pictures Please

About Me

I used to be an Air Traffic Controller at Atlanta Center. I was also a Safety Representative for NATCA. I used to write for AVweb too. Now I’m just a retired guy that reads too much, thinks too much and takes too many pictures.
